Default Clear cornered finally.

I bought the Hoen chromium bulbs, which are not so chromium. I plan to replace these at some point with a pure silver bulb. Other than that it made a pretty big difference on the front end aesthetics. I did one more step during the process and painted the two inner housings satin black. I didn't like how the chromed front piece looked on a titanium package car, and the piece behind it was more of a gray color.

I Also painted the lower front amber reflectors to match. Next on the list is a front plate delete.

It makes such a difference, does it rip the oem tab that holds the housing together?did you replace?

Default Wow! that looks sweet!

I am jealous. Did you get it done in a weekend?

Anyone in Washington state want to get together and do clear corner mods to our cars? Would be fun to tear down a couple cars in someones garage together. Let me know...

Default The painted housing looks great. I was just wondering about how that would look a few days ago.

Nicely done.

Default It was all just torx screws that I removed for the housing pieces.

I just popped all the reflective bits off once apart and painted the rest.
